AE Fork Compression Control uses our Mid-Valve Travel Control (MVTC) design to externally adjust the permitted movement of the midvalve leaf-spring arrangement while retaining a fixed bleed path. Designed and tested by Adrenaline Engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose one fork or both\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne adjuster — $399:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 5× the stock combined-fork compression adjustment range in AE's tested configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo adjusters — $699 per pair:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 10× the stock combined-fork adjustment range in AE's tested configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 10× comparison reflects a tested adjustment span of approximately 35% versus 3.5% stock. Actual results vary with the motorcycle, fork assembly and internal valving. These figures describe damping adjustment span, not suspension travel, speed or a guaranteed performance improvement.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne physical Compression Control adjuster per unit ordered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical rider-specific shims and recommended setup\u003c\/strong\u003e for the fork leg receiving each adjuster, selected after AE reviews your bike, riding level, terrain and suspension goals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuidance for establishing an appropriate starting point, including recommended base-valve, midvalve and rebound settings where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional other-fork shim package — $100:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you install just one adjuster, you can leave the opposite fork's valving unchanged. If you'd prefer AE to supply additional physical shims and a coordinated recommendation for that non-adjuster fork, that package is available for an additional $100. It is not required for the adjuster to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation labor, oil, seals, springs, unrelated replacement parts, shipping and additional revalving work are \u003cstrong\u003enot included\u003c\/strong\u003e in the adjuster price. AE will quote services separately before performing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant: compression and rebound adjustment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstalling an AE Compression Control adjuster replaces the original external rebound adjuster on that fork leg.\u003c\/strong\u003e With one AE adjuster, the other fork leg retains its OEM external rebound adjustment where fitted. With two AE adjusters, \u003cstrong\u003eboth external rebound adjusters are replaced; rebound is then established through the internal valving and is not externally adjustable.\u003c\/strong\u003e We recommend discussing your rebound setup with AE before choosing a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work with my existing valving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften, yes. If you already like your setup, tell us your current settings. Our testing database and in-house wheel-force analysis, informed by measured suspension dyno curves, help us recommend a compatible starting configuration. The two fork legs contribute together to overall damping, so you do not necessarily need to revalve the untouched fork leg when fitting a single adjuster. AE can also provide suspension dyno verification where appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Current designs are intended for \u003cstrong\u003econfirmed Showa fork applications using OEM pistons\u003c\/strong\u003e. Not every Showa fork is automatically compatible. Aftermarket pistons have not been verified and may require additional testing; contact us before purchasing if your forks are modified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to order from the first production run\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have received\u003cstrong\u003e 25 Showa units\u003c\/strong\u003e. Fitment verification is required before fulfillment. After ordering, Adrenaline Engineering will contact you to confirm motorcycle compatibility and determine the appropriate setup. Orders with incompatible applications may require cancellation and refund.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional installation is recommended for this first release.\u003c\/strong\u003e Local riders can bring their forks to our Belle Plaine, Minnesota shop; remote customers may ship their forks to AE or request shipment to a qualified suspension technician. Installation and additional revalving are separately quoted.
